PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an easy-to-use automatic blood pressure measuring apparatus by which a state of activity of the autonomic nerve can be evaluated with comparatively high accuracy simultaneously with blood pressure measurement, and relation between the autonomic nerve activity state and blood pressure values can be acquired to enable training for controlling the autonomic nerve activity.SOLUTION: The automatic blood pressure measuring apparatus includes an output control means 60 to output: a &DeltahbPWT which is a variation value of a pulse wave propagation time (pulse wave propagation velocity related value) hbPWT calculated by a pulse wave propagation velocity related value frequency analysis means 52 within a predetermined time section and a variation value (dLF/HF)RRI of a frequency component ratio (LF/HF)RRI between a low-frequency component LF and a high-frequency component HF calculated by a heartbeat cycle related value frequency analysis means 58 within the predetermined time section. Thus, an autonomic nerve activity state can be evaluated by a small and simple apparatus when measuring the blood pressure of a person to be measured and the relation between the autonomic nerve activity state and the blood pressure value can be learned, to enable training for controlling the autonomic nerve activity.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】血圧測定と同時に自律神経の活動状態を比較的高い精度で評価でき、自律神経の活動状態と血圧値との関係を体得できることにより自律神経の活動をコントロールする訓練を可能とする簡便な自動血圧測定装置を提供する。【解決手段】脈波伝播速度関連値周波数解析手段52により算出された脈波伝播時間(脈波伝播速度関連値)hbPWTの所定時間区間内における変化値ΔhbPWTと心拍周期関連値周波数解析手段58により算出された低周波数成分LFおよび高周波数成分HFの周波数成分比(LF/HF)RRI の所定時間区間内における変化値(dLF/HF)RRI とを出力する出力制御手段60を備えるので、被測定者の血圧測定時において自律神経の活動状態を小型且つ簡単な装置で評価でき、自律神経の活動状態と血圧値との関係を体得できることにより自律神経の活動をコントロールする訓練が可能となる。【選択図】図3
